Transcribed Image Text:(b)
A stone is projected from a point O at the top edge of a vertical cliff which is 60 metres
above horizontal ground. The stone is projected at a speed V ms¹ at an angle a above
the horizontal. The stone moves in a vertical plane under gravity where the acceleration
due to gravity is 10 ms 2. At time t seconds the position vector of the stone relative to
Ois_r(t)=(20t)į+(201–5t²) j .
(i) Find in simplest exact form the values of V and a.
(ii) Find the distance of the stone from the foot of the cliff when it hits the ground.
